| Reverse description | The numeral '1' is prominently displayed in the upper field, with the denomination legend CENT inscribed below in capital letters. The entire central device is enclosed within a wreath composed of two symmetrical branches of oak and laurel tied at the base with a ribbon bow, the whole contained within the coin's milled border. The design is clean and uncluttered, characteristic of utilitarian Dutch bronze coinage of the period. |

| Additional information |
These cents were struck under Willem III and, following his death in 1890, continued through the early regency and reign of Wilhelmina. The two KM varieties reflect a die modification to the reverse — a minor but catalogued change that occurred mid-series and gives collectors a reason to seek both.
Dutch bronze coinage of this period circulated heavily through the Netherlands and its colonial territories alike, with the East Indies in particular consuming enormous quantities of low-denomination bronze. Pieces that stayed in metropolitan circulation tend to show far more wear than colonial survivors.
